Spring Perch

Howdy all:
OK going to reindex the rear axel on my 74. I bought a pair of Currie anti wrap spring perch for the Dana 44. These perches are a little wider than the springs, Is that going to be an issue of some sorts.... It just kinda looks funky

Will the u bolts fit around the perch and into the top plate? A pic would help. If the u bolts are straight I would think it would be fine. I need to do this to mine.

 

Haven't broke it down yet but I believe the u bolts have plenty length. They are Stainless aftermarket and I have not cut them yet. I will try to get pics of the process

 

I believe what 2manytoys is asking is will the wider spring perches be wider than the bolt holes in the spring plate? This would cause misaligned ubolts, and not vertical.

 

Yes, if it pushes the u-bolts out, that's not good.

1.75" is pretty narrow for a spring perch. Maybe you should get these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warrior-Pro...CI%2BUA%2BFICS&otn=21&pmod=290745145638&ps=54
